by the commissioners together with the widow's dower as laid off by the
Jury." … after laying off the widows dower 100 acres remained to be divided
among the six children [Note: there were 7 children named in the will,
including a son Richard Powell who is not included in the division and
therefore I assume he had died by 1840.]: Lot 1: 20 acres, James Powell;
Lot 2: 24 acres, Francis Powell; Lot 3: 22 acres, Mastin Powell Jr.; Lot 4:
20 acres, Henry Smith and Mary Jane his wife; Lot 5: 20 acres, to "Mastin

Partition of the lands of Jarrald Powell to survey the dower tract
North Carolina Division of Archives & History, Caswell County, NC Deeds,
Book EE Pages 381-382, Surveyed 30 August 1839 by Henry Busknell
Abstract: "The above plat represents a tract of land belonging to the
estate of Jarrald Powell, Deceased, situated on the waters of Little Creek
in Caswell County and bounded as follows: …"; abutting property is Samuel
Kersey, James Jones, Dr. Wiley Jones, Carter Powell (borders the tract on

Deed, William J. Powell to Mastin Powell
North Carolina Division of Archives & History, Caswell County, NC Deeds,
Book FF Pages 681-682, 15 November 1842
Abstract: "William J. Powell of the County of Caswell and State of North
Carolina of the one part and Mastin Powell of the County of Halifax and
State of Virginia "; $50 for "a certain piece of parcel of land lying in
the county of Caswell State of North Carolina on the waters of little creek
adjoining the lands of him the said Mastin Powell, Elizabeth Powell and
others containing by survey twenty six acres "
William J. Powell <signed>
Witness: Carter Powell, Edwin M. Powell
Proved by the oath of Carter Powell and ordered recorded 20 March 1843
[Note: The only lot containing 26 acres in the division is lot #6 that went
William Powell. The above deed adds the middle initial "J." to the name
"William Powell" in the division of lands in the deed in FF 57-58. This
allows us to tie the "Jackson Powell" in the will to the "William Powell"
in the division in FF 57-58, and to the "William J. Powell" in this deed.
This gives us a full name "William Jackson Powell" and by implication this
is also the full name of the William J. Powell who is the son of Mastin
Powell and who is refered to as "William J. Powell Sr." in Halifax VA deeds
(such as Halifax County Virginia Deeds, Book 56, page 61) with "William J.
Powell Jr." who is the William J. Powell in this deed.]

tract of land lying and being in the county of Caswell on the waters of
Little Creek adjoining the lands of Dr. Willi Jones, Carter Powell and
others and containing one hundred and ninety eight acres be the same more
or less which said land descended to him and his five brothers and sisters
from his deceased father Jerrald Powell and which they hold subject to the

One of Our Own
At first the news is distant and vague, like many others…
- Another
soldier gone
- Dead
in a far off, foreign land
But to us, this one is different,
A familiar
face on the news
- He
is a Local Boy
- One
of Our Own…
Another citizen soldier sent off long ago, with best wishes
and Prayers...
- to
that distant, desert land
- never
ever to return
But to us, this one is different from the others
Not a
stranger from another town
- He
is a Local Boy
- One
of Our Own…
But in our hearts we know…
To Some One, Some Place
Each and Every One
- Is
a Local Boy
- One
of Our Own…
In memory of our own,
